Developer health inquiry: "As a Developer, do you need more sleep?"
Universal answer: Yes, always yes.
Rest optimizes debugging speed more effectively than caffeine consumption. Sleep-deprived code reviews present significant quality risks and decision-making impairment.
Prioritize recovery for sustainable productivity.
"A recent report by content delivery platform company Fastly found that at least 95% of the nearly 800 developers it surveyed said they spend extra time fixing AI-generated code, with the load of such verification falling most heavily on the shoulders of senior developers.
These experienced coders have discovered issues with AI-generated code ranging from hallucinating package names to deleting important information and security risks. Left unchecked, AI code can leave a product far more buggy than what humans would produce.
Working with AI-generated code has become such a problem that it’s given rise to a new corporate coding job known as “vibe code cleanup specialist.”
TechCrunch spoke to experienced coders about their time using AI-generated code about what they see as the future of vibe coding. Thoughts varied, but one thing remained certain: The technology still has a long way to go.
“Using a coding co-pilot is kind of like giving a coffee pot to a smart six-year-old and saying, ‘Please take this into the dining room and pour coffee for the family,’” Rover said.
Can they do it? Possibly. Could they fail? Definitely. And most likely, if they do fail, they aren’t going to tell you. “It doesn’t make the kid less clever,” she continued. “It just means you can’t delegate [a task] like that completely.”"
You have to be shitting me. God I fucking hate npm.
I literally spent an hour trying to diagnose why the builder was "freezeing" for several minutes, and it's because it downloads thousands of packages for a project with... 20 dependencies.
Fuck NPM. Fuck JavaScript.
"You won't really use higher-level math in most areas of #softwaredevelopment ," I remembered my younger self telling even younger apprentice developers, as my mistaken self spent almost a year at night getting up to speed on Trig & Calc.
I put off math for 50 years. And that, folks, is what demand avoidance looks like 
If you train ML models, they can learn to write more secure code. But the quality of the training data is only as good as your AppSec tooling. #AICoding #SecureDevelopment #CodeSecurity #SoftwareDevelopment

"In our piece exploring whether the AI revolution is leaving APIs behind, we wrote about some of the factors limiting the extent to which AI tools like chatbots can interface with APIs.
Some of these include:
- Limited or no access to APIs for developers
- APIs are sometimes overcomplicated, bloated, or difficult to call
- Legacy APIs (WS/RPC) lack thorough or up-to-date documentation
- APIs sometimes only cover a fraction of the functions available via the UI
It’s worth noting that many of these points impact human API consumers just as much as they do agentic ones. If you’ve ever been in the position of trying to use an API and it falling short of your expectations, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be.
While it’s possible that some of those users will get in touch to ask you to add certain endpoints or clarify things, plenty more won’t. Some developers are more likely to take the view that it’s easier to ask for forgiveness later than permission now, and find some other way to extract the data they’re looking for. In many cases, web scraping offers just such a solution.
Web scraping APIs are a natural evolution of manual scraping techniques, such as using Python to scrape websites. Used for everything from scraping search engine results, like SERP APIs, to product prices and sentiment analysis, there are various services out there that make web scraping very straightforward. And they’re big business."

Hey there Fedi. This is a complete, runnable app:
void main() {
var feature = Runtime.version().feature();
IO.println("
Hello, 
" + feature);
}
You can save it to a file and run:
$ language FileName.language
And it will work.
Question: What programming language is this?
Have you ever thought that meetings could be your best ally for growing in your technical career path?

Wie ist das bei euch in den Firmen mit dem Einsatz von AI in der Softwareentwicklung?
Ich sehe langsam (endlich) eine gewisse Ernüchterung, was die Erwartungen und dem Realitäts-Check betrifft. Trotzdem wollen viele nicht loslassen, habe ich noch das Gefühl. Wie ist es bei euch in der Firma?
Bitte etwas Boosten, damit ich mal einen groben Überblick bekomme 
.
Gerne auch Replies.
In my latest video, I talk about how successful software development methodologies (like @kentbeck 's eXtreme programming) are systems, and because of that, you can't just do a part and expect it to work...

Routine can be the arch-enemy of awareness…
Sometimes, we get into such a routine that we don't have a clear picture of our current reality.
This is why building awareness must be deliberate, especially if you have goals you want to achieve or changes you want to make.
It all starts with seeing your clear reality.
"I know I'm RIGHT!"
This statement was fired at me during a heated technical discussion with my boss earlier in my career.
It was quite a subjective discussion, so such an absolute statement stuck out like a sore thumb.
We very quickly recognised how ridiculous this statement was, and we both burst out laughing.
"Since the appearance of LLMs, writers have been concerned with AI disrupting our craft or making it disappear. In a recent post, a user asks “How do I pivot to a career path that won’t revolve around AI”. One of the answers, in typical Reddit style, recommends becoming a welder. Another compares the original poster with an encyclopedia’s salesmen, anchored in anachronistic ideals.
My answer is that no, we’re not going to disappear, because LLMs will always suck at what makes us indispensable. Instead, we’re going to shift to roles that are more editorial and grounded in strategy and coding than in writing, which isn’t the most important part of our job anyway. Start experimenting with AI right now, because the future of most intellectual work is augmentation. If you let businesses own the narrative around docs and AI, you’ll be left out of the picture. If the thought of using AI disgusts you, you might be humanizing it: Think of it as just a tool."

You don’t have to do it alone…
Surround yourself with experienced people who can provide support and guidance.
Don't be afraid to ask for help…
You'll likely find a strong network of support at work, from family, or online.
Seeking support is a strength, not a weakness. 
Hypothetically speaking, of course, couldn't there be a Spotify client that records audio in real-time using a virtual audio interface and grabs the song/album info from the #Spotify catalogue and sets the tags and filenames accordingly?
